Russia has begun mass production of mobile bomb shelters that can protect against a variety of man-made threats and natural disasters including radiation and shockwaves, the emergency ministry’s research institute said.
The “KUB-M” shelter looks like a reinforced shipping container. It can give some protection against radiation, shrapnel, debris and fires and can be deployed in Russia’s vast northern permafrost, according to the state institute.
The standard unit accommodates 54 people but additional modules can be added, the institute said.
Yeah, they won’t do anything against beta or gamma radiation. They’re potentially viable shelter from conventional munitions, but you’re only stopping alpha particles with steel or lead.
Yeah, I feel like the headline is more Russian propaganda. These will probably be thrown into a trench to house soldiers on the front line.
Doesn’t matter. The reason why they’re produced is to keep the domestic fearmongering active and the population convinced they’re only defending themselves.
